I think that some cars make it easier for us when we are driving because some companies have already advanced technology and them wanting to have 5G will just add more in a positive way but I can't help but wonder the downside from all of this.

I think the fatal accident will slow some of the progress people anticipated for autonomous cars on the road. It certainly put an end to Uber's tests. See https://www.theverge.com/2018/3/19/17139518/uber-self-driving-car-fatal-crash-tempe-arizona

Completely agree. It was so unfortunate incident for Uber's autonomus cars. Any further efforts from Uber are suspended. This certainly will slow down the pace.

I was also thinking based on the news i heard about the incident, how there was no control by the driver when crisis was identified as there was a driver in the car though it was operating on auto mode.

Flying cars should have been done a long time ago. Autonomous cars seem alot closer, but 5G alone has proven to be very difficult on its own. I think both, though seemingly close, are still a long way into the future based on all the trouble of execution for each.

@Ariella: My first thought exactly. Of course, what will really happen is there will be a period of "investigation", and it will be determined that the dead pedestrian was really the one at fault, and then it will go back to full speed ahead.
